Welcome To National Hoops Foundation

The National Hoops Foundation exists to remove the financial and social barriers that stand between young athletes and their full potential. We use basketball as a vehicle for mentorship, character development, and life-changing opportunities. Through scholarships, free camps, community outreach, and leadership programs, we ensure every child has the chance to train, grow, and thrive regardless of their circumstances.

By partnering with families, communities, and supporters nationwide, we create pathways for athletes to build confidence, develop strong values, and pursue meaningful futures. Our commitment is simple: open doors, elevate lives, and make the game accessible to every kid with the heart to play.
